    Pitching Help for the Mutts

    Mutts are obviously hurting for pitching and are said to be looking.

    At this point, early in the season, what would it take to send Colon or Dickey across to the visitors clubhouse?

    I'd love for us to do something like this, especially for Colon since he probably has more value to the Mets. Unfortunately, I'd imagine the front office still wants to keep up the perception that we're aiming to compete this year, so I doubt it would happen. At least not this early.

    Don't think they are good enough offensively to actually complete, but their pitching is bottom of the barrel.

    The earliest date you can trade an FA signing? That's a guess.

    Interesting article this morning in USA Today about this very issue after Syndergaard went down. Smooth had quote a bit to say on their situation.
